MSNBC

[nwctwx]

Apparently 10 people overcome by fumes on flight, 4 in critical condition. This was reported at the half hour flash (11:30PM EDT).

yeah I know, but I told JimRob about the traffic and he was like, yeah, people really go for that conspiracy stuff ...

but it takes momentum to keep it going for a long period of time ... right now it's about 20% roughly of FR's traffic ... I was checking traffic a couple days ago ...

he should have just gone "The Onion" route ... some of it could be hilarious ... I believe he was banned after suggesting the sailors on the USS Cole were having an orgy when the boat detonated killing 17 of them ... just to give some of his "news" ... I didn't see the post but that's one rumor ...

I only watch Fox unless they aren't covering a "breaking". Let me rephrase that... Only when they aren't covering a really breaking story. I do enjoy the car chases and dog rescues though. You can't get that anywhere else. Anyway, they are the best. I just wish they wouldn't keep bankers hours.

"Carroll County Animal Control officers Brian Rupp and Mark Miller capture a stray emu in Eldersburg."

Food's not gonna provoke this reaction in one hour.

Onset, Duration, and Symptoms of Food-borne Illness Yes it can. I don't know about the fumes that were emitted. Could be related to altitude???

Chemical weapons antidotes shipped
New York City and Boston receive early stockpiles for use at conventions

WASHINGTON - The government is quietly shipping stocks of antidotes against chemical weapons to states under a long-awaited program to boost response to a potential terrorist attack.

New York and Boston, sites of the upcoming political conventions, are among the first areas to receive the "chem-packs."

Enter the chem-packs, which CDC began shipping four months ago.

The gurney-sized packs come with an assortment of antidotes to the many chemicals available to a terrorist: atropine to fight nerve agents, for instance, or amyl nitrite for cyanide. Some are in autoinjectors for use at the site of an attack, others are packaged for emergency-room use.

"If there was a leak in one of the aircraft systems such as the hydraulic fluid and it got into the cabin air system, it can be fatal in high enough concentrations."

I would be sceptible of that... Hydraulic fluid has a relatively high vapor pressure.

Cheryl Stewart, a spokeswoman for BWI, said the situation was secure and passengers were allowed to leave the airport. Stewart told WBAL News that some of the passengers vomited after seeing one of the other persons on the airplane throw up. Early reports said about half a dozen of the passengers had become violently ill.

Funny to see people paniac about stuff before they bother to find out whats going on first

They usually are.

You're assuming anyone was unconscious. That could well turn out to be false.

Sounds like yet another classic case of Mass Sociogenic Illness.
